I just bought a Canon Eos 1n rs. I am in the process of ordering a combination of vivitar 285's and 283's, in other words I'm shopping around. I've been researching all the different off camera trigger methods and radio seems to be the best bet for my applications. However I'm not ready to shell out $200 a piece for a few p-wizards. There's buzzing all over the internet about the "ebay radio triggers". I found a site gadgetinfinity.com that sells them. However the transmitter needs to be mounted on a shoe mount. This is my problem. I want 2 flashes off camera and one on camera. Is there a cord that would allow me to plug the transmitter into a shoe mount and into my camera? or another combination that would allow me to still keep one flash on my cameras shoe mount.
I'm desperate for answers. I've got a crazy headache from staring at the computer screen trying to find the answer to this question.

yea it definitely has one, but the info on the cheap radio slaves does not say anything about including a pc cord. If that's the case that would make my life simple. I hate trying to do things on the cheap it's always sketchy. I'm just going to buy the ebay slaves and hope for the best. I should be able to afford p-wizards in a year or so, but I don't want to sit around and wait for that day to come. Thanks for the help. I'll definitely be buying them from mpex.com. I hate waiting on shipping.

I have the V2 Cactus set and I recently started doing what you are wanting to do.

The V2 transmitter has a standard 1/8 socket on the side, so you can use a cord to go from your camera's PC port to the transmitter, leaving the hotshoe open for a flash, it works great.

The only problem I had, was that I couldn't find a PC to 1/8 cord (although I'm sure they must exist). I did find several PC to 3/32 cords, so I went to 'Radio Shack' and got a 3/32 to 1/8 adapter and it worked out fine.
